coe-staff: Commencement 2023

[Lisa Fortin]

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped make our 2023 Commencement a success! This is very much a team effort and it went really well thanks to your support. Great job everyone! If you were a volunteer or a spectator at commencement, please take a few moments and send me an email to let me know:
1. What you think went well
2. Areas where things could be improved


Below is the list of folks who helped by volunteering. If you see them, say thanks, as we couldn't do this without them!
